# SAMPLE / PLACEHOLDER — Samsung Viewing Information Services
**The on-TV Smart Hub / Viewing Information notices were not captured.** https://smarthub.termsnprivacy.com/terms/US_en.html returned Access Denied (HTTP 403) on September 13, 2026. Samsung's Privacy Shield page still points to that URL for “Smart Hub and Interest-Based Advertisements Service Privacy Notices.”
## Publicly reported themes (not fabricated Samsung ToS)
**Consumer Reports** describes Viewing Information Services as Samsung TVs' ACR: it may collect information about channels, networks, websites, programs, viewing time, and devices connected to the TV, used for recommendations and targeted marketing. Leave the box unchecked to limit that collection. Source: [How to Turn Off Smart TV Snooping Features](https://www.consumerreports.org/electronics/privacy/how-to-turn-off-smart-tv-snooping-features-a4840102036/).
**Texas Attorney General petition** (public PDF) alleges that Smart Hub onboarding presents multiple notices — including Terms & Conditions: Dispute Resolution Agreement, Smart Hub U.S. Policy Notice, Viewing Information Services, and Interest-Based Advertisements Service U.S. Privacy Notice — with a prominent “I Agree to all” control. Source: [Texas AG Samsung TV petition](https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/sites/default/files/images/press/Samsung%20TV%20Petition%20Filed.pdf).
The archived Samsung Privacy Policy and SmartTV Supplement in this corpus are the captured legal texts; this stub is only a pointer to the missing on-TV ACR notice.
